straight line?

No, slash.

For the second consecutive shot, Gao Wen repeated the route and sent the tennis ball back to Jilong's forehand, and the two players once again engaged in a head-on collision at the forehand position.

Jilong was not afraid at all. He paused, stopped and turned quickly, started again, raised the racket early, and prepared to complete the shot in the first time again.

but……

Wait, huh?

The return of the ball was a little strange and contained a mystery.

Although it was also a forehand, Gao Wen's shot was different. It was not an ordinary flat shot with force, but a topspin ball that landed in the middle of the field.

Topspin?

But why?

Jilong's head was full of question marks, but he didn't have time to think about it. His body and brain had already made the first reaction -

Take a step forward, approach the baseline, move forward slightly, grab the rising point, release the topspin completely, and attack again with downward pressure from a high point.

straight line!

Since Gao Wen did not change his line, Jilong changed his line first, seizing the opportunity to break the deadlock, hitting a straight line and aiming for the winning point to launch an attack.

However, everything was within Gawain's prediction. He was already moving, starting, running, and crossing the court almost the moment Jilong made his move.

In a flash, his footsteps had already reached the position smoothly.

Two-handed backhand, diagonal, deep—

Not in a straight line, but diagonally, continuing to make full use of the court in large areas.

Similarly, Jilong was not surprised. He made an emergency stop, turned, and started again, leaving a series of afterimages and rushed out, but then he realized the predicament.

My heart shrank.

At this point, McDonald and the commentators should be able to see some clues:

One deep, one shallow, one deep.

The landing point is always changing.

In the tug-of-war, Gao Wen, who was in a passive defensive state, hit the ball with three shots. It seemed simple and random, but in fact he was always controlling the landing point.

The so-called "changes in depth and shallowness" are not the kind of drastic changes, "small ball in front of the net and then hitting the baseline"; rather, it is changes in the midfield area, with topspin in the shallow area and backspin in the deep area, accompanied by changes in strength and speed, which causes Jilong's hitting point position to keep changing.

This means that it is not enough for Jilong's footsteps to just move horizontally, but he also needs to adjust vertically so that he can find the best hitting point; and the vertical movement is not a large-scale straight up and down movement, but it fluctuates back and forth like an electric wave near the baseline.

Here, there is another detail. Gao Wen has caught a common problem of young players.

Don’t like surfing the Internet.

Young players are often accustomed to sticking to the baseline. Even if they get the opportunity to enter the baseline, most of the time they will not go to the net, but will return to the baseline after hitting the ball.

Jilong is no exception.

In such a situation, Gao Wen controls the landing point near the midfield area, which is sometimes far, sometimes near, sometimes deep, sometimes shallow, which is equivalent to a smoke bomb. Jilong will not rush to the net, but his feet must always take into account the vertical movement while moving horizontally, and the entire shot is in a turbulent state.

Physical energy consumption is one thing, and energy consumption is another.

The ball being hit in front of me is the best explanation.

It was obviously Jilong who changed the line first and launched a continuous attack, but his line was very regular, relying entirely on speed and force pressure, without enough changes. Gao Wen predicted it in advance, and successfully arrived at the second start, and used the force of the backhand position to complete the shot, pushing all of Jilong's strength back.

Gao Wen's backhand diagonal shot was light and yet powerful. With one push and one push, he pushed the tennis ball directly into the large diagonal triangle area.

Deep area, blind spot.

Geelong is in deep trouble.

He must quickly turn his head and move, running a diagonal line at a fifteen-degree angle behind his body. This requires not only horizontal movement but also vertical movement. The body's capture of the three-dimensional space of the court will be deviated because he must find the hitting point diagonally behind his body.

The overall perception of space may be somewhat biased.

Jilong's movement speed has been improved to the extreme, but when his footsteps are in place, the hitting point is still very strange, and his two-handed backhand is also squeezed. Although he still successfully completes the hit, there are few line options left. He can barely draw a diagonal line, but there is no depth and no angle.

Damn it!

——Offense and defense transition! Jilong immediately realized that the quality of his return ball had obviously declined and he was in a passive position. Gao Wen had turned the situation around in a flash, and the initiative of the offensive and defensive confrontation was quietly transferred to Gao Wen. He could see Gao Wen cutting into the baseline and hitting the ball.

Oops!

Jilong, alarm bells were ringing all over his body, and his conditioned reflex was very quick.

At this time, Jilong was still in Saiyan mode, his perception and intuition were very sharp. Although he was passive, he was fully alert and responded promptly.

With a push, Jilong rushed sideways to the right and returned to his forehand position.

It was not because he was familiar with Gawain, but because of an intuitive judgment that he rushed out subconsciously.

Tap, tap, tap.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The speed was pushed to the extreme in an instant, turning into a gust of wind, and the eyes were as sharp as torches, firmly locking onto the tennis ball.

Accurate prediction.

Gao Wen indeed chose a straight line, a signature backhand straight line that went through the court and launched a killer move.

Jilong did not give up. In a dazzling burst of footsteps, he returned from the left side of the court to the right side, and completed two shuttle runs efficiently and quickly in a short period of time. Although his chest heaved like a bellows, his concentration reached its peak in the midst of his boiling blood.

Tap, tap, arrive in time.

but.

Shallow area.

It turned out to be a shallow area.

With this shot, Jilong never expected that Gao Wen's seemingly powerful two-handed backhand straight line was actually a gentle push like a spring breeze. He did not pursue power or landing point, but just drew a straight line, but the landing point was between the small triangle of the serving area and the large triangle of the baseline.

It's like there's not enough control.

The difference is that this lack of control should be a situation created deliberately.

Jilong, caught off guard.

He was already prepared to meet the impact at the baseline and use the force to return the ball; but now, not only was he unable to use the force, but he also needed to move forward.

There was no time to adjust his feet, and the vertical movement was obviously half a step short. But it was precisely this half a step that he could not move in time during the lightning-fast game, so he could only lean forward and extend his upper body to reach the ball with the racket.

In other words, you cannot exert force or drive the ball, so you can only use your forehand to flick and flick the ball, a method close to a diving header to quickly pick up the tennis ball.

Danger! Danger, danger, danger! No words are needed. From the parabola of Jilong's high-flying return ball, it can be seen that it is extremely dangerous.

Because the parabola is not very high, it barely passes over the net, with no rotation and no height, which is basically equivalent to a head-on collision. It is like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth, with no edge and no power, which is no different from surrendering.

Jilong, all his muscles suddenly contracted——

In the next second, Gao Wen can be seen cutting into the baseline with firm and light steps, and rushing forward with a two-handed backhand without hesitation.

Charge!

Swing!

Critical hit!

The power was finally released only now, without reservation, sweeping across the field, the tennis ball sweeping across the entire court like a storm.

Land and score.
